Moss model speeds up Stable Diffusion image generation by reducing steps

A Reddit user has found that the Moss model, often used with Stable Diffusion, can generate images significantly faster by reducing the step count. By lowering the steps from the default 50 to 20, generation time decreased from 27 seconds to 11 seconds with minimal loss in quality. This optimization allows for quicker iteration on prompts and workflows, similar to how SDXL base models perform. AI

IMPACT Enables faster iteration for users of the Moss model with Stable Diffusion, potentially speeding up creative workflows.
